Vikings interim offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur does not have a fantasy football team

On Thursday, Vikings interim offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur was asked about Stefon Diggs’s recent surge and whether or not Shurmur has Diggs on his fantasy football team.

We learned then that unlike millions of Americans, Shurmur does not have a fantasy football team.

“I don’t really do that stuff,” Shurmur said. “No, he has found a way to get open. He caught a bunch of balls on the last drive (against Washington), and we try to spread the ball around if we can. Depending on the game, I feel like sometime catches come in bunches. The week before, Kyle [Rudolph] only got one touch, and then last week, he got a few more. So, we try to match our players up against the players we’re playing against, but certainly, there’s progressions involved. So, he just happened to be first or second in progressions and made some good plays.”

For what it’s worth, Diggs ranks as the 24th best fantasy receiver according to ESPN, even though he’s missed a game.
